We will be having our first test on Thursday, September 1st. It will be over the Nature of Science. Items to study include: Hypothesis Dependent Variable Independent Variable Experimental Group Control Group Constants Data (qualitative and quantitative) Classify-put into groups Infer-to conclude from evidence difference in laws, theories, and hypothesis Your child should be studying what we've done and notes they've taken in class.  We are still learning new material Monday and Tuesday. The study guide will be on Google Classroom and they will work on it in class Wednesday. 

Welcome parents and students! We are back to school in full swing and ready to learn. I'm very excited to have each student in my class this year. I know God has put us together for a reason and I don't that job lightly. I will pray for your student and love them as much as I can. I hope we can have an excellent year. Seventh grade is a difficult time in every young person's life. There will be times they mess up, don't turn in work, forget supplies, etc. Hopefully we can work together as they mature and grow this year.  Please do no hesitate to email me. It is the fastest way to communicate with me. I also will try to post weekly on this blog to keep you in the loop about what is going on in science. Please subscribe to my Remind by texting  @eec738 to 81010 for Science OR  @abakd to 81010 for Pre-AP Science. I look forward to getting to know your child!
